The organization that writes the rules for high school basketball has
just joined the rest of the world outside of the NCAA men in getting rid
of 1-and-1s; from now on, fouls are 2 shots beginning with the fifth foul
of each quarter. This pretty much leaves the NCAA men as the only organization that still has 1-and-1s, just as it is pretty much the only
one that still has halves instead of quarters.
I like 1-1s. Why do all those other orgs hate them?

the 10th foul of the half. These coaches tend to hate the shot clock for a similar reason - four-corners is pretty much they only chance they have against taller, faster teams.I like 1-1s. Why do all those other orgs hate them?My guess is, for the same reason a lot of coaches like them - because it turns the game into a "foul the worst free throw shooter and hope they miss the first shot" contest. A lot of them thought it was bad enough when they created the 2-shot bonus on
